Pittsburgh named National Geographic’s kind of town

National Geographic magazine named Pittsbugh one of the 20 “Adventure Cities” to travel to this year.

“You can view the once soot-choked skyline—now a well-arranged collection of modern high-rises and repurposed early-1900s factory buildings. What’s most surprising? It’s beautiful. Thanks to a 15-year urban renewal program, the city has been revived, morphing from a stronghold of industry into a place that better reflects the surrounding Allegheny Mountains,” said the article.
